Title: Multiplex repeater terminal
IPC: H04J1/08
Filed: 1961-06-30
Abstract: 927,570. Frequency division multiplex systems. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. June 30, 1961 [July 7, 1960], No. 23738/61. Class 40 (5). Relates to a repeater for use in a frequency division multi-channel system which comprises a receiver for a multiplex signal, a transmitter including a modulator oscillator, a phase comparator whose separate inputs are connected to the said receiver output and the said modulator-oscillator output and a band reject filter connected between the output of the phase comparator and the input to the modulator oscillator. A frequency division multiplex composite signal is transmitted from the terminal 1 to the terminal 2 via the repeater 3, which contains facilities for dropping signals on some channels and re-inserting other signals on these channels. The composite signal received at the repeater input 6 is converted to an intermediate frequency and then amplified in unit 10, after which the signal is passed to one input of a phase comparator 17, to the other side of which is applied the repeater output signal (at the I.F.). The comparator 17 yields an output directly proportional to the baseband of the composite signal received by the repeater, this output being used to modulate the output from the oscillator 11 which delivers the output I.F. The facilities for dropping some of the signal channels in the composite signal consist of a demodulator 19 which acts on the input I.F., a filter 20 which passes those signals to be dropped, and a device 21 which makes use of the dropped signals, in whatever way required. Included in the comparator loop 18 is a low-pass filter 25 which eliminates noise due to the high I.F. frequency and a filter 22 which rejects those channels passed by the filter 20. The baseband signal remaining at the output of this filter is mixed with signals to be inserted at the repeater before being used to modulate the output from oscillator 11. The output from this oscillator is converted into a suitable radio frequency for transmission to the multiplex terminal 2. An arrangement is shown in Fig. 3 for providing a fail safe facility whereby signals taken from both the demodulator 19 and the phase comparator 17 are applied to the oscillator 11. In the event of either channel failing, a signal can still pass through the repeater and be transmitted, though distortion may be increased.

Title: Railway signalling equipment
IPC: B61L19/06
Filed: 1958-07-25
Abstract: 883,532. Shunt route setting equipment. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. July 25, 1958 [July 31, 1957], No. 24009/58. Class 105. In a railway signalling equipment comprising a control panel for route setting having relay sets assigned to shunting signals interconnected in accordance with the layout of the corresponding track sections, the sets comprise end identification relays and each set is capable of co-operating in the setting of shunting routes according to the direction of movement. Each relay set comprises two route end identifications, relays one or the other being put into use in accordance with the direction of movement controlled by the associated signal. In the embodiment illustrated, the end identification relay, e.g. E3, Fig. 1, is controlled by a shunting signal control button T3 used as an exit button for a route terminating in front of the signal R3. In Fig. 2, the thickened lines show the condition of the circuit when effective in setting a route. To set up a route from signal R2 to signal R6 through an island track section J, Fig. 1, operation of entrance button T2 reverses contact A2 of a relay, not shown, and operation of exit button T6 energizes end identification relay E6 to reverse contact E61, after the route has been lined up via circuits in known manner and the points have been locked, contact 1+ being thus closed. A circuit is then completed for relay R21, through contacts E61, E51, E41, E31, A3, 1+, A2 to effect the setting of signal R2 at " clear." The setting up at the same time of movements from both ends of the island section J is prohibited. Assume, with relay E6 operated as above, entrance button 19 be operated and exit button T3, relay E3 would be energized after locking of the points and contact E31, would be reversed to open the circuit for relay R21 which drops off, and the energizing circuit for relay R91 is already open at contact E61, so that a shunting route from right to left cannot be established to track J if a shunting route to that section is already set from left to right. Track section 5 is a long station track section, and two oppositely directed routes may be simultaneously set to include that track section 5, e.g. from signal R8 to signal R12 by operating buttons T8 and T12 and from signal R13 to signal R9 by pressing buttons T13 and T9. Button T9 operates relay E11 to effect energization of relay R131 via contacts E111, E121, A12, 4-, A13, to set signal R13 at "clear." Operation of buttons T8, T12 reverses contacts A8 and E101 to pull up relay R81 over contacts E101, E91, A9, 3+, A8, to set signal R8 at " clear." If the track section 5 were short, the circuitry would be as for section " J."
